    I use Mangos for little bits that are dealer specific - plastic and trim bits etc
    Alfashop for bigger bits - PS pumps etc
    Alternative Autos for service bits

    Also try Eddie ("ae-car" on ebay), I've mentioned him before, but he's a very helpful chap and quick delivery of OE or equivalent parts.

    Edit: He has a website now... http://aecar.co.uk

    I'm a sissy (and I have to have presentable hands for my job) so I use gloves these days. It helps a lot against scuffs.

    Gloves aren't really an option when you've got massive flappy hands already. If I stick gloves on I'll never be able to reach anything!

    What are the quality of parts from Alfashop like? Just had a quote back from them and the parts seem pretty cheap.

    Can't really comment personally as it's years since I used them, but they are well respected.
